(3) Warriors vs (2) Celtics 2021-22 FINALS

Curry has a 29% FG when defended by Smart

Wow Smart kind of got his ass kicked by Butler but Curry is more his size. So he can stick Curry all series.

Tatum can shut down Klay in his sleep, just has to watch for screens.

Only guy i'm worried about is Poole, he's sneaky as shit. But I doubt he'll be consistent enough to win the series if you have Curry\Klay on lock.

Nba need to fix the finals schedule or return to this format

Locking down Curry is basically impossible

And to even mention locking them both is whacko

Yep you can slow down great players but lock them down completely in a best of 7 series? Not happening

Also with the way Boston switch on screens, it is pretty easy to get Smart off Steph. Not like all of his shot attempts will come against Smart

All the talk of defense but I expect more points in this series

The 2016 finals want to speak with you

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

This Celtics team actually very similar to the 2019 raptors

Tatum = kawhi
Smart = Lowry
Brown = siakam
Horford = gasol
Grant = Danny green

And Rob would be ibaka if he learned how to hit a 3 and spread the floor but he has been kind of unplayable in playoffs

The series where he was clearly hurt?

Also 23/5/4 is not locking down anyone. They slowed him down but lock down? That didn't happen

They are in Vegas, but a lot of pundits are picking the Celtics.

It seems more are picking GS, but it's not one-sided.


Gun to head I'd pick GS, because if any team feels the pressure it will be Boston.

Everybody is hurt deep in the playoffs. He didn't look hurt when he was coming back from 1-3 in the prior round.

22PPG on 40% FG is trash for a player of his caliber. I'm only taking that if you have all time great defense like pippen or something.

The noob is like the Celtics version of heatmyshorts. lol

I mean curry had a 13 gamescore that series and blew a 3-1 lead Haha Haha

That was the worst finals performance from an MVP ever, probably the worst performance from any superstar ever.

These warriors in general have been pretty fortunate with luck.

2015 - Paul is hurt misses a game. Kawhi would of beat curry's ass like he always does but Duncan let Chris Paul make a game winner over him. Then love and Irving were hurt in finals

2017 - kawhi hurt

2018 - Paul hurt

2022 - Murray and porter hurt, ja hurt

We'll see how tough they are when they actually face a healthy squad

And?

What does any of that have to do with you being a hawt take machine?

Celtics yet to play a healthy squad. They don't make it out of round 2 if they did

Its not a hot take to say curry played bad and choked in 2016 finals, I've seen majority posters on other forums say that

Nets were healthy and they had arguably the best player in the league Durant. With a championship second option that outplayed the mvp in 2016 kyrie Irving

Celtics were also not healthy either, they blew out the bucks in game 2 without smart. Horford and smart also missed game 1 of the conference finals. Smart missed like 2-3 games in last 2 rounds
